Zombies take me as air

Chapter 378 Village
The visitor looked at the two of them vigilantly, with a gun in his hand, walked to a position five meters away, and asked who they were and what they were doing here.
This is a foreigner, tall and burly, half a head taller than Lu Xiangbei.

The shotgun in his hand is as intimidating as he is.

But those who use guns to intimidate people, in today's world, nine out of ten are ordinary people without supernatural powers.

Lu Xiangbei answered all the tall man's questions and told the truth.

The two of them came to investigate the source of animal variation, and their camp was in the east.

The tall man didn't think Lu Xiangbei was telling the truth, he repeated the main point: "Animals mutated?"

From his tone, Lu Xiangbei didn't seem to know about the animal mutation.

"Yes, isn't there one here?" Lu Xiangbei slowed down, took out the previously recorded video of giant beasts fighting, and played it for the man.

Lu Xiangbei held up the tablet, and the tall man burst out laughing after watching the video.

"You guys are joking, hahaha, this is too fake, sci-fi movie editing video? But... your electronic equipment still works?"

His focus shifted from the behemoth to the tablet, something that had been out of use for far too long, after the world went blackout.

Lu Xiangbei told him that they have a solar power bank, but there is no internet, and the phone and tablet can only be used as a camera.

The man was very interested in the power bank, and he asked Lu Xiangbei if he would sell it to him.

Lu Xiangbei said that as long as the man is willing to show them around the southern continent, he will give him the power bank.

Lu Xiangbei asked this question because he wanted to know from the side the degree of danger in the Southern Continent.

If it is more dangerous here, men will not agree to be their guides just because of a power bank.

"Deal! Come on, I'll show you around, maybe someone likes to hear your science fiction stories." The man agreed without hesitation.

He put down his gun and waved at Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei, signaling them to follow.

Going to the hinterland of the mainland, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and the plants and animals are also increasing.

It's just that there are many flowers, plants and trees here, which Kong Qi and the others have never seen. She and Lu Xiangbei have traveled around the world twice, and have seen countless animals and plants, but they have never seen some plants here.

The tall man explained to them that many of the plants here were tens of millions of years ago. Kong Qi found it incredible that the seeds of the plants were buried in the permafrost for tens of millions of years. After thawing, can they grow again?
With a hint of showing off, the man introduced to them that this place is like a paradise of rebirth, and the nature is magical. Unfortunately, the scientific research station stationed in the southern continent has fallen and no one survived.

The man and his companions were crew members on an ocean-going freighter. When the disaster broke out, their ship was at sea. Some of the crew members were infected and mutated into zombies, while others survived after killing the zombies.

They took a lifeboat to the nearby harbor and found zombies everywhere, and there was no port to dock at.

They drifted on the sea for a period of time, and found that the situation in various places was not under control, but was getting worse and worse. So they were completely desperate for landing, and they turned to the southern continent, and found that the scientific research personnel from various countries here had died. I picked up a ready-made house to live in, and there are vegetables grown in the greenhouse in the station.

At first they tried to contact the survivors by radio, but they soon discovered that the world became dead silent, no matter whether it was official radio stations or private radio stations, there was no news, and they became a lonely boat on the sea.

Then the ice began to melt, and at first they felt panic, fear of the unknown.

They don't know what this means. The ice layer is not completely melted, only the area where the continent is forged is gradually changing back to the way it was thousands of years ago.

Grass grew again, flowers bloomed in the field, and the animals in the area became more abundant.

After eating vegetables for a long time, they can finally eat meat. Life here is much better than other places, at least there are no zombies here.

The only concern of the surviving crew members is their families thousands of miles away.

The life and death of their family members was unknown. Some people had left the Southern Continent with enough food to return to their own country to find their family members, but these people never returned, and their life and death were also unknown.

Kong Qi didn't want him to be too pessimistic, so she told him that there were still survivors who escaped from the city, hid in various places, and survived catastrophes time and time again.

The tall man shrugged and said that he had no such concern. He had a car accident with his parents and sister, and he was the only one who survived. He was seven years old at that time.

Because his parents had no relatives, he was sent to an orphanage, and was adopted by an old couple when he was nine years old. He had just graduated from university, and the old couple died of illness one after another, so he chose a career of drifting at sea.

He felt that this was his life, like duckweed without roots.

Kong Qi asked him if there were any other survivors here?
The man said yes, they built a village here, and all the survivors who came here lived in the village, and those who didn't want to leave could settle in the village.

The tall man is the guard of the village, and he and several others are responsible for patrolling the edge of the hinterland every day.

He bluntly said that Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei were the most suspicious people he had met in the past few years.

Kong Qi was puzzled, and asked: "What's suspicious about the two of us? Isn't the combination of a man and a woman normal?"

The tall man said: "The survivors who came to seek refuge are all in a state of distress. Their clothes are dirty, worn out, and their faces are yellow and thin, and they look malnourished. Glowing black, rosy white skin, healthier and more energetic than people before the disaster, is this normal in today's world?" He asked Kong Qi.

Recently, Kong Qi always makes black sesame cakes, black rice, black soybean milk and so on. She reads in the health book that she needs to eat all kinds of grains, so she mixes five colors of black, red, green, white and yellow grains and vegetables.

Recently, the hair quality of the residents in the New World has indeed improved a lot.

If you say that, the two of them are really suspicious. When others have eaten their last meal, they are already thinking about what to eat to maintain their health.

Lu Xiangbei's explanation for this is that he was originally a doomsday survival enthusiast, and he usually prepares a lot of things that will be used in the doomsday outbreak. He even bought a hydroponic vegetable system.

They just didn’t expect the disaster to come, and the village they lived in had a small population. After the disaster broke out, the villagers went to the survivor’s camp, but they didn’t go. They lived a self-sufficient life relying on the things prepared before the disaster.

Although he also defected to a large camp later, his life has been good.

The tall man didn't know about animal mutations, and he didn't seem to know about supernatural powers, so Lu Xiangbei didn't take the initiative to mention it.

The men didn't ask them what kind of craft they used to live a good life in a large camp.

They walked first, and after walking for more than half an hour, a road paved with gravel appeared on the ground. The gravel was covered with special soil, which was pressed flat, and a carriage was parked by the side of the road.

The tall man asked them to get in the carriage. The rest of the journey would take a carriage. He and the other guards changed shifts every three days.

If you are traveling alone, you can ride a horse, but the tall man said that he also needs to transport some things back, so the back of the carriage is actually a cargo box for pulling goods.

Every time I patrol the edge of the hinterland, it can be regarded as a long trip. Since I go far, I have to bring something back to the village.

They set up traps for catching prey in the wild, and if the inspectors find prey caught in the traps, they will take them back to the village.

Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei came early, and the man hadn't checked the trap yet, so he happened to be driving the two of them there.

The man said that they could catch rabbits, wild sheep, and deer. If they were unlucky, they would all be small animals that would not be enough for a few bites. If they were lucky, there would be large animals that would feed the entire village.

The tall man took them to check the traps everywhere and saw the prey trapped in the traps. The man laughed and said that Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei were his lucky stars.

Because there are a lot of prey in the trap today, there is a wild ox, two wild sheep, and a wild boar, enough for the whole village to eat.

It's just that the carriage couldn't move these things, and with the weight of Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei, it couldn't move them even more.

The wild boar was carried on the back of the carriage. The man gave Kong Qi a small trailer, tied two wild sheep to the trailer, and asked her to help drag it for a while.

The man and Lu Xiangbei carried the bison, and it took a long time to walk back. The man walked for two hours and was too tired to walk.

He admired Lu Xiangbei's physical strength very much. He carried such a big bison for two hours, and there was no sign of fatigue on his face.

The man stopped, calculated the distance, then took out an arrow from his bosom and fired it into the sky.

With a cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of horses and horses came to meet him. Although he did not recruit thousands of horses, the horse team that came was enough to solve his lack of physical strength.

The horse team brought the prey, and also brought Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei. When Kong Qi saw the village where the smoke was rising, she glanced at Lu Xiangbei, and the two understood each other.

It turns out that the village is not too far from the edge of the hinterland of the Southern Continent, at least the village is not in the center of the hinterland of the Southern Continent.

If it's that far away, the Cloud Piercing Arrow won't work either.

The buildings in the village are all small wooden houses, and those in good condition are small wooden buildings.

The tall man introduced to Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei that if they wanted to settle here, they had to build their own houses, as there were no ready-made vacant houses in the village.

Kong Qi said that they didn't want to settle down here, as the situation in their hometown was not peaceful, and they worried about the safety of their relatives and friends, so they went back as soon as possible after finishing their work.

When the tall man showed them the prey in the trap, he said that there was no such thing as animal mutation here, and he took it as a joke and told the horse team on the road.

Said that Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei edited a sci-fi video to scare him, but he was not fooled.

The cavalry members booed one after another and asked Lu Xiangbei to show the video to everyone. Lu Xiangbei didn't mind their laughter, so he took out his tablet and played the video he recorded for them to watch.

The content of the video was too 'sci-fi' for them, and most of them didn't believe it was real, only a few people watched the video repeatedly, and then said with a serious expression that the video was not edited.

After watching the video, some professionals among them think that the video does not look like a fake edited video. Looking at it from the perspective of their professionals, there is no trace of editing.

Others are still joking that it may have been filmed by actors, like that famous movie in which live-action superheroes fight monsters.

A professional said that it was not like it. He thought the video should be real, so he asked Lu Xiangbei where it was filmed.
Lu Xiangbei told the location of the duel of monsters, and told them that there are more than three such giant beasts, as long as there is enough food, they will be found in every region, and they will compete for territory, and their menu is very rich, including humans.

Kong Qi added that a mutated crocodile attacked the human camp, causing serious damage to the camp and sacrificing many survivors. He advised them not to take their lives as a joke, and hoped they would take this matter seriously.

At present, the Southern Continent is indeed a pure land, and they don't know the reason, but when the mutated monsters find this place and find that there is enough food, there is no guarantee that they will not gather here and fight on the streets here.

Behemoths of this level gather here to fight, how can humans survive?
Even if they don't deliberately attack the village, the village will become a pond fish that is affected and will be destroyed.

The people in the horse team finally stopped laughing. They really don't know why this land has become a pure land. From the fact that there are no mutated animals mentioned by Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei to making trouble here, the animals here have never mutated or gone crazy. .

But the fact that these animals don't mutate doesn't mean that animals from other places don't come to forage. On this point, they think what Kong Qi said is right.

So after returning to the village, the horse team immediately called all the villagers to gather in the village square for a meeting.

The tall man spoke first, pointing to Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei, and said to the villagers: "These are two people from outside. They have traveled many places and found something that may cause us harm. He will Show you some evidence, and it's up to you to believe them or not."

After he finished his brief speech, he asked Lu Xiangbei to come forward and show everyone the video of the giant beasts fighting.

Lu Xiangbei walked among the villagers, walked past them, and played the video for everyone to watch.

There are all kinds of people, men, women and children in the villagers. Some old people asked Lu Xiangbei, has the outside world really become like this?

Lu Xiangbei nodded and said yes, the living environment in the outside world is getting worse and worse, the temperature is still dropping, and there is less and less space suitable for people to live in.

A middle-aged woman asked at this time: "Then how did they escape these monsters?"

"Most of them have moved underground and built shelters underground," Lu Xiangbei explained.

"Looking at their size, they must have a lot of food. The entire population of our village is not enough for them to fit between their teeth. They probably wouldn't come to the Southern Continent for this little food!" said a young man.

"Maybe, maybe not. We are not here to influence your judgment or make decisions for you, but to inform you of the confirmed news. It is your freedom to do what you want. Of course, if you are willing to listen to me Suggestion, I hope you build an underground shelter as soon as possible, which can be used as a warehouse in normal times, if you are really in danger, it is better to have a place to hide than nothing.”
